All-Weather Accuracy
Be confident in your flow measurements, no matter the weather. Responsive temp probes and humidity sensors keep the weather in check as you monitor flow, pressure and temperature in real time. Or, collect a robust average of 5000 readings in 5 seconds.
Fast & Easy Operation
Connect quickly to any low-volume sampler with the industry’s only pass-through PM10/PM2.5 inlet connection. Or, use the included barb fitting with face seal for no-hassle fitting changes. Rapid temperature equilibration lets you get started right away.
Durable Field Design
Keep calibrating after a drop from the roof, or finish your audit if it starts to rain. This compact calibrator fits in your pocket but is built tough with an all-aluminum body, weather-resistant connections and the industry’s only lifetime warranty.
